A bit thin on the ground again this year with just 5 Legacies, along with 3 from the NeL ranks.
These are the Legacy Players for the 1933 season:
Chicago White Sox: Thornton Lee (34.3; 261)
Cleveland Indians: Hal Trosky sr (30.0; 1124)
Detroit Tigers: Schoolboy Rowe (42.5; 245)
Philadelphia Athletics: Bob Johnson (55.6; 1459)
Washington Senators: Dutch Leonard (48.9; 262)
Cecil Travis (30.3; 1328 – one-club player) was also eligible for the Senators, but Leonard’s higher WAR makes him the selection.
There are 75 rookies for this season, and the Draft will consist of 4 rounds.

We go into this Draft with two distinct needs, neither of which we have managed to adequately cover in the off-season FA market (more on which later). Our course of action will be ultimately decided by who is available when it comes our turn to pick.
Here’s who we take:
1.
SS Lonny Frey, 22- Our lack of depth around the D is unnerving and Lonny will bring us one step closer to having this back under control.
2.
SS Jimmy Jordan, 24- Not sure he ever makes it to the bigs, but Wilkes-Barre is in the same boat we are and there’s little left already.
3.
2B Tony Robello, 19
4.
P Ira Hutchinson, 22- Two more for Wilkes-Barre.
Sadly, with both of the players we’d earmarked gone early, we come away pretty unfulfilled.
Here's the full 1st Round:
